Anyone else remember that Don Knotts movie The Incredible Mr. Limpet?

(Spoiler: Warner Brothers had the idea for a movie in which a human bangs a fish long before Benicio Del Toro.)

I’ve read that various plastics and drugs being flushed aquifers had hormonal affects on fish, but, I mean, really?

If I ever see some guy asking for cichlid at the fish market, I will move slowly away.
